provides the number of profiles (equals number of job IDs) and the bitrates of each profile. The
parameters for jobid.xml are described in
Table 24 , followed by an example file.

Verify that Encoding has Completed
In order to verify that the requested encoding has completed, you can look at your account
with
encoding.com ; use the Job ID given in the output of the python command to verify a
particular set of encoding requests.
Or, by setting the <status_polling_duration> element in the setup.xml file, the
SFAssetGenerator script can provide real time status updates about the encoding progress.

The status messages signify the following:
